Improving resilience and well-being in depression: The development of innovative neurocognitive interventions Ghent University
Depression is a major mental health problem and current treatments are frequently insufficiently effective. Based on insights on positive emotions obtained through an ongoing GOA (ending December 2015) we propose a new GOA project to develop and test innovative ways to combine psychological interventions with neurostimulation targeting mechanisms involved in anhedonia and resilience, to increase sustainable well-being in depression.

A cognitive-neuroscience approach to resilience and depression: the processing of positive information Ghent University
The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of positive emotions on resilience in remitted depressed people within a cognitive-neuroscience perspective, using experimental paradigms, event related Potentials to examine the spatio-temporal dynamics of conflict detection and recruitement of cognitive control on encounter of emotional information, and fMRI to map neural networks involved in the regulation of emmottions.

Understanding the Causal Role of Attention Biases in Depression: Experimental manipulation of attention using Eye-Tracking Techniques Ghent University
The aim of this project is to develop new techniques to manipulate attention biases in depression. A procedure targeting attention biases will be developed to clarify their role in social disturbance. Another procedure will analyze the role of attention-interpretation interplays in depressive disturbances. Finally, these techniques will be used with depressed patients to clarify their efficacy in modifying clinical symptoms.

Mindwandering and social cognition in depression: The mind’s social default mode and its role in mental well-being Ghent University
Although modern life is considered busy, research shows that we spend a noticeable amount of time in fantasies, rather than being focused on what we are doing. For instance, it is a common experience that, while reading a book, we suddenly realize that we are unable to remember the last page, because we have been fantasizing about possible future events that could happen to us.
It seems indeed that, when our mind drifts away, we tend to ...
